I love it when George Clooney talks dirty to me—about the government shutdown.

Never one to shy away from a political issue, Hollywood's reigning Silver Fox aroused the crowd at a New York lunch for his new movie Gravity with passionate rhetoric about the current congressional mess. Of the Affordable Care Act, Clooney said (via Daily Intelligencer), "This was put into law, and [Obama] was reelected on it. It was reaffirmed, it was passed through the Supreme Court — it's a law. You don't like it? Win an election. That's how it works.. But you don't get to shut down the government because of it."

Is all of this pent-up frustration with the federal government turning anyone else on?

The Cloon then proceeded to get fired up about the Tea Party ("It's basically: 30 people in one half of one branch of the three branches of government are shutting down the government. Okay, that's how they want to play?") and the debt ceiling ("You settle the government shutdown, and you still got the debt ceiling. It's the same fight").

He also lobbed a burn at Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who read Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham on the Senate floor last week while trying to stall a vote on Obamacare: "I always panic when people like Ted Cruz take the floor and read Green Eggs and Ham. You know? Like somehow they're Jimmy Stewart."

With all of these highly-charged feelings burning inside of him, it's clear that shutdown sex is in Clooney's future—and it appears he has a new model with whom to furlough himself inside a five-star hotel room. Us Weekly reports "Crotian sensation" Monika Jakisic, 33, has already "had a sleepover" with Clooney at his L.A. mansion.
